TMAG again participated in the national species discovery project, Bush Blitz, funded by the Commonwealth’s Australian Biological Resources Study in collaboration with BHP Billiton. It enabled TMAG’s botanists and zoologists to join a multidisciplinary team of Australian biologists in the Central Highlands and on Flinders Island, collecting thousands of specimens, which will enhance and complement TMAG’s collections, as well as provide the raw materials for ongoing research and discovery. Early indications are that the collections include numerous species new to science and a large number of first records for the state.

Zoology’s collection and staff expertise continue to be the foundations for important collaborations with other research organisations. For example, the Predator Scat Survey Project, commenced by DPIPWE in 2014, will provide important data on predators of native wildlife by analysing DNA found in animal scats. TMAG plays a pivotal role in this research by providing tissue samples from a range of native animals for extracting DNA to build a sequence library. This database can then be used to identify a wide range of Tasmanian animals.

John Sexton The major change in the Friends operations during the President year has been the introduction and installation of an entirely new electronic system (a first for us!) to keep track of our membership and all records connected to them. This system was introduced to the Friends by our resident computer guru Andrew Ross, and installed by him and Julie Hawkins in a remarkably short time. Julie did a heroic job of transferring the basic data on our members from the cards diligently kept up to date by Jean Boughey over many years of selfless effort, and the switchover has been remarkably smooth, with just a few minor glitches.

48 TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 1 Significant Accounting Policies 1.1 Objectives and Funding The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) aims to provide, promote and facilitate interaction with, and understanding of, the cultural and natural world for present and future generations. TMAG collects, conserve, researches, displays, interprets and safeguards the physical evidence of the natural and cultural heritage of Tasmania, together with relevant material from interstate and overseas.

TMAG is operated through the Tasmanian Museum Act 1950 (as amended), by a body corporate of the name of the Trustees of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (Trustees). The Trustees have perpetual succession and a common seal with power to purchase, take, hold, and dispose of land and other property for the purposes of the Act.

TMAG is funded by:

a) Parliamentary appropriations through the Department of Economic Development, Tourism and the Arts (the Department);

b) Funds held in Trust by the Trustees; and

c) Funds generated by the provision of services on a fee for service basis, as outlined in Note 4.4.

The Financial Statements encompass all funds through which TMAG controls resources to carry on its functions.

All activities of TMAG are classified as controlled. Controlled activities the use of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses controlled or incurred by TMAG. 1.2 Basis of Accounting The Financial Statements are general purpose Financial Statements and have been prepared in accordance with:

• Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board; and • The Treasurer’s Instructions issued under the provisions of the Financial Management and Audit Act 1990. The Financial Statements were signed by the Chairman and Acting Director of TMAG on 8 September 2014.

Compliance with the Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) may not result in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as the AAS include requirements and options available to not-for-profit organisations that are inconsistent with IFRS. TMAG is considered to be not-for-profit and has adopted some accounting policies under the AAS that do not comply with IFRS.

The Financial Statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and, except where stated, are in accordance with the historical cost convention. The accounting policies are generally consistent with the previous year except for those changes outlined in Note 1.5.

The Financial Statements have been prepared as a going concern. The continued existence of TMAG in its present form, undertaking its current activities, is dependent on Government policy and on continuing appropriations by the Department for TMAG’s administration and activities. 1.3 Reporting Entity TMAG forms part of the Department of Economic Development, Tourism and the Arts (the Department). The activities of TMAG are predominantly funded through attributed Parliamentary appropriations.

As a result of an administrative order, the Department of Economic Development, Tourism and the Arts changed its name to Department of State Growth effective on 1 July 2014. 1.4 Functional and Presentation Currency These Financial Statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is TMAG’s functional currency.

TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 49 1.5 Changes in Accounting Policies (a) Impact of new and revised Accounting Standards

• In the current year, TMAG has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. These include: • AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13) – This Standard defines fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. AASB 13 sets out a new definition of ‘fair value’ as well as new principles to be applied when determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. The new requirements will apply to all assets and liabilities (excluding leases), that are measured and/or disclosed at fair value or another measurement based on fair value. TMAG has reviewed its fair value methodologies (including instructions to valuers, data used and assumptions made) for all items of property, plant and equipment measured at fair value to ensure those methodologies comply with AASB 13. The financial impact is nil. • AASB 13 requires increased disclosures in relation to fair value measurements for both assets and liabilities. To the extent that any fair value measurement for an asset or liability uses data that is not “observable” outside TMAG, the disclosures are significantly greater. • AASB 2011-8 replaces the existing definition and fair value guidance in other Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations as a result of AASB 13. There is no financial impact. • AASB 119 Employee Benefits (2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119) – This Standard supersedes AASB 119 Employee Benefits, introducing a number of changes to accounting treatments. The Standard was issued in September 2013. TMAG has determined that the financial impact of application is nil. • 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities [AASB 7 & AASB 132] – This Standard makes amendments to AASB 7 and AASB 132 as a consequence of the issuance of amendments to IFRS 7 by the International Accounting Standards Board in December 2011. It is anticipated that there will not be any financial impact. • 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures [AASB 9, AASB 2009-11, AASB 2010-7, AASB 2011-7 & AASB 2011-8] – This Standard makes amendments to various standards as a consequence of the issuance of International Financial Reporting Standard Mandatory Effective Date and Transition Disclosures (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) by the International Accounting Standards Board in December 2011. It is anticipated that there will not be any financial impact. (b) Impact of new and revised Accounting Standards yet to be applied

There are not any applicable new and revised Standards yet to be applied. 1.6 Income from Transactions Income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when an increase in future economic benefits related to an increase in an asset or a decrease of a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably.

(a) Attributed Revenue from Government

Appropriations, whether recurrent or capital, are recognised as revenues in the period in which TMAG gains control of the appropriated funds. Except for any amounts identified as carried forward in Notes 4.1, control arises in the period of appropriation.

(b) Grants

Grants payable by the Australian Government are recognised as revenue when TMAG gains control of the underlying assets. Where grants are reciprocal, revenue is recognised as performance occurs under the grant.

Non-reciprocal grants are recognised as revenue when the grant is received or receivable. Conditional grants may be reciprocal or non-reciprocal depending on the terms of the grant.

(c) User charges

Amounts earned in exchange for the provision of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from the provision of services is recognised when the service has been provided.

50 TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 (d) Interest

Interest on funds invested is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest rate method.

(e) Contributions received

Services received free of charge by TMAG, are recognised as income when a fair value can be reliably determined and at the time the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense.

Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised at their fair value when TMAG obtains control of the asset, it is probable that future economic benefits comprising the contribution will flow to TMAG and the amount can be measured reliably. However, where the contribution received is from another government agency as a consequence of restructuring of administrative arrangements they are recognised as contributions by owners directly within equity. In these circumstances, book values from the transferor agency are used.

(f) Other revenue

Other Revenues are recognised when it is probable that the inflow or other enhancement or saving in outflows of future economic benefits has occurred and can be measured reliably. 1.7 Expenses from Transactions Expenses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when a decrease in future economic benefits related to a decrease in an asset or an increase of a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably.

(a) Attributed employee benefits

TMAG does not employ staff in its own right and as a result activities of TMAG are delivered by staff employed by the Department. That share of the employee benefits incurred by the Department that relate to TMAG activities are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as Attributed Employee Benefits and include where applicable, entitlements to wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave, long service leave, superannuation and any other post-employment benefits.

(b) Depreciation and amortisation

All applicable Non-financial assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their useful lives in a manner which reflects the consumption of their service potential. Land, being an asset with an unlimited useful life, is not depreciated. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, once the asset is held ready for use.

Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis using rates which are reviewed annually. Heritage and cultural assets are not depreciated as they do not have limited useful lives as appropriate curatorial policies are in place.

Major depreciation periods are:

Plant and equipment2-25 years

Buildings50-80 years

Leasehold improvements5-12 years

All intangible assets having a limited useful life are systematically amortised over their useful lives reflecting the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by TMAG. The major amortisation period is:

Software1-5 years

(c) Supplies and consumables

Supplies and consumables, including audit fees, advertising and promotion, communications, consultants and contracted services, information technology, operating lease costs, property expenses, purchase of goods and services, travel and transport, and legal expenses, are recognised when it is probable that the consumption or loss of future economic benefits resulting in a reduction in assets and/or an increase in liabilities has occurred and the consumption or loss of future economic benefits can be measured reliably.

TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 51 (d) Grants and subsidies

Grant and subsidies expenditure is recognised to the extent that:

• the services required to be performed by the grantee have been performed; or • the grant eligibility criteria have been satisfied. A liability is recorded when TMAG has a binding agreement to make the grants but services have not been performed or criteria satisfied. Where grant monies are paid in advance of performance or eligibility, a prepayment is recognised.

Program commitments shows amounts approved to clients payable over a period greater than one year on which the actual amount payable is dependent upon expenditure being incurred and certain conditions being met by these clients and a claim submitted and approved for payment.

(e) Other expenses

Other expenses are recognised when it is probable that the consumption or loss of future economic benefits resulting in a reduction in assets and/or an increase in liabilities has occurred and the consumption or loss of future economic benefits can be measured reliably. 1.8 Other Economic Flows included in Net Result Other economic flows measure the change in volume or value of assets or liabilities that do not result from transactions.

(a) Gain/(loss) on sale of non-financial assets

Gains or losses from the sale of Non-financial assets are recognised when control of the assets has passed to the buyer.

(b) Impairment – Financial assets

Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that there are any financial assets that are impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

An impairment loss, in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

All impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost and availableforsale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss. For availableforsale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity.

(c) Impairment – Nonfinancial assets

All nonfinancial assets are assessed to determine whether any impairment exists. Impairment exists when the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. TMAG’s assets are not used for the purpose of generating cash flows; therefore value in use is based on depreciated replacement cost where the asset would be replaced if deprived of it.

In relation to Heritage and cultural assets, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment adjustment made if the asset’s market value has declined significantly more than would be expected as a result of the passage of time. The recoverable amount of a cultural asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of the asset is not primarily dependant on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if TMAG was deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken at market appraisal.

All impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

52 TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 1.9 Assets Assets are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to TMAG and the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably.

(a) Cash and deposits

Cash means notes, coins, any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution, as well as funds held in the Special Deposits and Trust Fund. Deposits are recognised at amortised cost, being their face value.

Trustee funds represent monies which have been received from State and Federal Government Agencies, large corporations, private philanthropists and individuals who have designated the funds for use towards museum outcomes.

(b) Receivables

Receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any impairment losses, however, due to the short settlement period, receivables are not discounted back to their present value.

(c) Inventories

Inventories held for distribution are valued at cost adjusted, when applicable, for any loss of service potential. Inventories acquired for no cost or nominal considerations are valued at current replacement cost.

(d) Property, plant and equipment, heritage and cultural assets

(i) Valuation basis

Heritage and cultural assets (TMAG Collections) and land assets are recorded at fair value. Buildings are recorded at fair value less accumulated depreciation and all other non-current physical assets are recorded at historic cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The costs of selfconstructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment such as exhibitions.

The value of exhibitions is included in plant and equipment and represents capitalisation of the development and establishment costs of exhibitions that will continue to generate revenue or provide a community service beyond the financial year or years in which these costs were incurred.

Capitalised development and establishment costs include material and construction expenditure, but do not include an assessment of the intrinsic value of collection items incorporated in an exhibition unless specifically purchased and costed for that purpose. Staff costs for permanent employees inputs to the development of exhibitions are reflected in employee related expenses and are not included in the capitalisation of exhibitions.

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to TMAG and its costs can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of daytoday servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Asset recognition threshold

The asset capitalisation threshold adopted by TMAG is $10,000 for all assets. Assets valued at less than $10,000 are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year of purchase (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are material in total).

TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 53 (iv) Revaluations

TMAG has adopted a revaluation threshold of $50,000. Non-current assets measured at fair value are revalued with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount of each asset does not differ materially from fair value at reporting date.

Assets are grouped on the basis of having a similar nature or function in the operations of TMAG. Assets are revalued by class of asset annually to ensure they reflect fair value at balance date.

(e) Intangibles

An intangible asset is recognised where:

• it is probable that an expected future benefit attributable to the asset will flow to TMAG; and • the cost of the asset can be reliably measured. Intangible assets held by TMAG are valued at fair value less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses where an active market exists. Where no active market exists, intangibles are valued at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

(f) Other assets

Other assets are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to TMAG and the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably. 1.10 Liabilities Liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will result from the settlement of a present obligation and the amount at which the settlement will take place can be measured reliably.

(a) Payables

Payables, including goods received and services incurred but not yet invoiced, are recognised at amortised cost, which due to the short settlement period, equates to face value, when TMAG becomes obliged to make future payments as a result of a purchase of assets or services.

(b) Attributed employee benefits

Liabilities for wages and salaries and annual leave are recognised when an employee becomes entitled to receive a benefit. Those liabilities expected to be realised within 12 months are measured as the amount expected to be paid. Other employee entitlements are measured as the present value of the benefit at 30 June, where the impact of discounting is material, and at the amount expected to be paid if discounting is not material.

A liability for long service leave is recognised, and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.

(c) Superannuation

(i) Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a postemployment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense when they fall due.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a postemployment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan.

TMAG does not recognise a liability for the accruing superannuation benefits for employees delivering TMAG activities. This liability is held centrally and is recognised within the Finance-General Division of the Department of Treasury and Finance.

(d) Other liabilities

Other liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will result from the settlement of a present obligation and the amount at which the settlement will take place can be measured reliably.

54 TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 1.11 Leases TMAG has entered into a number of operating lease agreements for property, plant and equipment, where the lessors effectively retain all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the items leased. Equal instalments of lease payments are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the lease term, as this is representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property.

TMAG is prohibited by Treasurer’s Instruction 502 Leases from holding finance leases. 1.12 Judgements and Assumptions In the application of Australian Accounting Standards, TMAG is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements made by TMAG that have significant effects on the Financial Statements are disclosed in the following Notes:

• Note 7.4, 1.9(d) – Property, plant and equipment, heritage and cultural assets; and • Note 8.2, 1.7(a) – Attributed employee benefits. TMAG has made no assumptions concerning the future that may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 1.13 Foreign Currency Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency receivables and payables are translated at the exchange rates current as at balance date. Associated gains and losses are not material. 1.14 Comparative Figures Comparative figures have been adjusted to reflect any changes in accounting policy or the adoption of new standards. Details of the impact of any changes in accounting policy on comparative figures are at Note 1.5.

Where amounts have been reclassified within the Financial Statements, the comparative statements have been restated. 1.15 Rounding All amounts in the Financial Statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. Where the result of expressing amounts to the nearest thousand dollars would result in an amount of zero, the financial statement will contain a note expressing the amount to the nearest whole dollar. 1.16 Taxation TMAG is exempt from all forms of taxation except Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and the Goods and Services Tax (GST). 1.17 Goods and Services Tax Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax, except where the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST. The net amount recoverable, or payable, to the ATO is recognised as an asset or liability within the Statement of Financial Position.

TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 55 2 Events Occurring After Balance Date There have been no events subsequent to balance date which would have a material effect on TMAG’s Financial Statements as at 30 June 2014.

3 Underlying Net Operating Balance Non-operational capital funding is the income from transactions relating to funding for capital projects. This funding is classified as income from transactions and included in the net operating balance. However, the corresponding capital expenditure is not included in the calculation of the net operating balance. Accordingly, the net operating balance will portray a position that is better than the true underlying financial result.

For this reason, the net operating result is adjusted to remove the effects of funding for capital projects.

Section 8A(2) of the Public Account Act 1986 allows for an unexpended balance of an appropriation to be transferred to an Account in the Special Deposits and Trust Fund for such purposes and conditions as approved by the Treasurer. In the initial year, the carry forward is recognised as a liability, Revenue Received in Advance. The carry forward from the initial year is recognised as revenue in the reporting year, assuming that the conditions of the carry forward are met and the funds are expended. There were no such items in 2013-14 or 2012-13.

In 2013-14 Attributed Appropriation revenue also includes a Request for Additional Funding of $1.0 million (2012-13 $800,000).

56 TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 4.2 Revenue from Special Capital Investment Funds Funding for major infrastructure projects is provided through Special Capital Investment Funds (SCIF).

Land and buildings

The latest land and buildings revaluations as at 30 June 2014 were based on valuations undertaken by independent valuers Brothers and Newton Opteon. The valuations has been prepared in accordance with the International Valuation Standards (IVS) 2011 which are endorsed by the Australian Property Institute and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 13 Fair Value Measurement which contains the following definition:

“Fair Value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.”

Heritage and cultural assets (TMAG Collections)

TMAG Collections were independently valued with an effective date of 30 June 2014 by RHAS Chartered Valuers and Brokers. The revaluation of these assets was on a fair value basis in accordance with relevant accounting standards and Treasurer’s Instruction No 303 Recognition and Measurement of Non-Current Assets.

The valuation of TMAG Collections is undertaken by a specialist valuer who has expertise with the objects in question. However, due to the volume and diversity of TMAG Collections, a number of valuers are required.

The valuation methodology involves selecting a random sample of individual collection items to determine a representative value for the collection, and each valuer brings a unique perspective on how to divide TMAG Collections into these samples. The valuation exercise is undertaken in accordance with accounting standards for fair value applicable to cultural and heritage collections (AASB13).

The definition of fair value is defined in AASB13 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date. It is based on the principle of an exit price, and refers to the price an entity expects to receive when it sells an asset, or the price an entity expects to pay when it transfers a liability.

The determination of the fair market value of TMAG Collections is a combination of two distinct components – individual valuation of iconic items in the collection, and representative sampling of the remaining objects. Individual valuation relies upon the specialist expertise of the valuer and their knowledge of the market. The representative sampling derives an average value which is assigned to the remaining objects.

The valuation was based on a combination of internal records, specialised knowledge and market information about reproduction materials.

66 TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 12 Financial Instruments 12.1 Risk exposures (a) Risk management policies

TMAG has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

• credit risk; • liquidity risk; and • market risk. The Trustees have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of TMAG’s risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse risks faced by TMAG, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits.

(b) Credit risk exposures

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to TMAG if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Risk is managed by suitable follow up action taken on outstanding debts.

The carrying amount of the financial assets recorded in the Financial Statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents TMAG’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking into account any collateral or other security.

Financial Instrument Accounting and strategic policies Nature of underlying instrument (including (including recognition criteria, significant terms and conditions affecting measurement basis and credit quality of the amount. Timing and certainty of cash instrument) flows) Financial Assets Receivables Receivables are recognised at amortised cost, The general term of trade for receivables is 30 less any impairment losses. days. Cash and deposits Deposits are recognised at the nominal amounts. Cash means notes, coins and any deposits held at call with a bank or financial institution, as well as funds held in the Special Deposits and Trust Fund.

TMAG Annual Report 2013-14 67 (c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that TMAG will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. TMAG’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due.

(d) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The primary market risk that TMAG is exposed to is interest rate risk.
